Free firewood, a quiet lake, and a hot tub that doesn't care if it's 40 degrees outside — fall and winter are when The Willow really shines. Every stay in September and October comes with complimentary firewood for the firepit, so the only thing you need to pack is the marshmallows.
The Willow by Acorn Shores is where s'mores never run out, the coffee's always strong, and the hot tub has a view of the lake.
At The Willow, we believe in easy mornings, unplugged afternoons, and cozy nights by the fire. Whether you're out on the trails, floating on the lake, or curled up in the bunk room for movie night, this is your place to reconnect and relax.

🍂 Why Fall & Winter at The Willow
This isn't a summer-only cabin. Once the leaves turn, The Willow becomes basecamp for trail riders, snowmobilers, and anyone who just wants a firepit and a hot tub within twenty feet of each other. All town roads are ATV/UTV routes unless marked, and the trailhead is right at the end of the road — no trailering across town required. Our new winter 2025–2026 trailer parking pad sits at the top of the driveway, so you're not maneuvering a rig down a steep grade in the snow. Pull in, unload, and you're on the trail in minutes. Come evening, soak in the hot tub with a lake view while your firewood (on us, all September and October) burns down to coals for the s'mores.

This house was great for a group! Loved the kitchen and the big table, and the beds were very comfortable. They're obviously still working on a few items to improve the experience--the trail to the lake and the porch--but it's still a great house and in a nice, quiet location. (If you want to use the porch, I recommend bringing a fan.) The lake itself was great in that we could get to the other lakes in the chain. The chain of lakes was great! It would have been nice if the boat lift had been installed but, fortunately, we had a great weather so we didn't end up needing it.If you're looking for an authentic supper club experience, we recommend the Tally Ho Supper Club. It's less than 10 minutes away and has great food!Brittney and Andrew were great with all communication and were very accommodating! We had a wonderful time here!!

Beautiful property and lake views!
My husband and our four children had a wonderful stay at Acorn Shores! The hosts were incredibly informative and very responsive to any questions we had! We enjoyed use of the canoe, kayaks, and hot tub. The amenities were perfect and we'd highly recommend this property for your next vacation get away. Thanks again for a great stay!

Quiet Weekend Vacation
We had a great time! Quiet area with a few homes close by, but otherwise very private. Great amenities. We paddleboarded and kayaked every day. Plenty of space for a large family to stay, cook meals, enjoy the outdoors.

Beautiful accommodations on a peaceful lake
Beautiful accommodations with updated bathrooms and kitchen. The hosts are attentive and helpful should you need anything. The lake is perfect for kayaking with little or no motor boat traffic. We had an excellent long weekend with our two boys.

This home is a great location for gatherings. It has 4 comfortable bedrooms and large open accommodating common spaces. Even though it rained almost our entire time the living spaces kept us having fun together at the large tables and great room style TV viewing room. We would have loved to have used the kayaks and canoe. Next time!

Fill with Amenities
The home was very clean. It had more amenities than any other vacation rental I have stayed in. The kitchen had everything imaginable and the bathrooms were also nicely stocked. The hot tub seemed new and in great condition. The lake is beautiful to look at but it is weedy and mucky (as noted in the listing) so we chose not to swim there. We rented a boat on nearby Round Lake. The host was very accessible and helpful.

Family vacation
I loved our stay at acorn shores! My family and I vacationed here and everyone enjoyed themselves including our dogs. We enjoyed kayaking and canoeing on the lake. We also loved the outdoor fire and s’mores by the lake watching the sun set! The place was great and we were at one with nature. It was like a cabin in the middle of the woods only upgraded! The locals were so kind. You have to go eat at the Tavern! Great food and such kind people. We also enjoyed our pontoon and fishing boat rental with Hayward power sports! Definitely a great experience!

Great spacious winter cabin!
We booked this location because it was close to the Birkie trail and had a hot tub! We loved the views to the lake. It very comfortably and easily fit 4 adults and 3 young kids. Kitchen was well equipped, beds were comfortable, and the 2 living room areas were great to spread out. The 2 bathrooms upstairs were much more updated while the lower bath had some retro basement vibes but very clean and no complaints! We went sledding out the front of the cabin and it was only 10 minutes drive to one of the Birkie trailheads. The hottub was awesome at night after a day of activities and we appreciated all the unused beach towels as well. We would stay here again!

Great lodge at the lake - perfect for families!
The lodge is very nice and the hosts are always helping to have a great time.
If there was something missing or not working, the hosts replied quickly.
As it is a huge house the time between checkout and checkin must be big enough to let the staff clean up according to the hosts expectation.
The ice maker in the fridge was shut off by the hosts on purpose.
The foosball was broken, but the hosts immediately took care of it.
The amenities with the boats and the shear is great!
We would always stay there again.

Great Find on Short Notice!
Acorn Shores Resort worked out really well for our family of 8. The 4 bedrooms were well appointed and the 3 baths were great. The kitchen was well equipped, and my wife really liked the ample storage for our food.
The main activity on these annual trips is fishing, with floating on the lake being second. We rented a 24 ft pontoon from Hayward Power Sports. The dock could be a little longer and higher to better accommodate a boat of this size. We almost had to be on shore to get the entry gate by the dock. The fishing on both Lake McClaine and Upper Twin produced a wide variety of fish, but no musky or walleye.
Most everyone enjoyed the hot tub multiple times. If we weren't on the water, we typically sat on the porch to enjoy the lake view through the trees.
We saw that this house is a work-in-process with some trim still to be installed. However, it did not detract from our very enjoyable stay. Acorn Shores is on our short list to visit again.

Solid spot with lake access
10 of us stayed at this property for a boys fishing trip. Cabin is in a great location, not too close to town, but close enough that it’s not a big deal to run in. Lake access is great. House layout and beds were great, although it did seem that some areas were still under construction. Not a big deal. Plenty of room to spread out and definitely enough room to sleep 10.
One thing to keep in mind is that the neighboring cottage (part of the same “resort”), is literally right next door, as in maybe 20 feet. If another group is renting the cottage, you’ll have to share the dock, fire pit, and canoes/kayaks with them. We were lucky that the host was staying next door our weekend - if it had been another group that wanted dock/fire pit access, there definitely is not enough room on the dock to tie up two boats.
We also followed the hosts suggestion and rented from Hayward Power Sports. Excellent service and experience.
Fishing tips: we had the best luck on trolling crank baits for northern/bass in the connected lake, with some small hits on casting spinners on the home lake. Worms and jigs were great for sunfish and crappie as well.
This property is accommodating for any type of stay you’d want to have, and the hosts are great with communication. If I’m in the area, I would certainly consider staying here again.
